Chapter 342: Our Descendants
Shenyang is far away from Jinzhou, but fortunately, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not do a good thing, the road was very wide and smooth, and Zhou Huchen's army finally walked easily.
And Wang Deyong led the army to quickly control the empty city of Panjin, and then went down to Gaizhou, and controlling these two places is equivalent to controlling the entire Liaodong Bay.
Shenyang's throat is Liaoyang, and when Zhou Huchen came to this small city, the Qing army, which he had not seen for a long time, was waiting for him.
What is strange is that Zhou Huchen, who had a strong army, did not divide his troops to surround Shenyang City, nor did he copy the back road of Liaoyang, but began to confront the Qing army here in Liaoyang.
The general of the Qing army in charge of defense in Liaoyang was named Abahanar, a veteran of the Blue Banner who had repeatedly made military exploits in the early days of Huang Taiji's reign. Abahanar also knew that he was sent to Liaoyang to die, and the fifteen thousand troops looked like a lot, but there were only 1,500 real Jianzhou soldiers under him, and the rest were of course strong men, that is, Aha who was put together by various banners to make a show.
The Ming army behaved strangely, and the huge army not only did not immediately attack, but even seemed to be resting. Abahanar doesn't understand, isn't the Ming army very strong? It's just not strong, and these dozens of times the force will crush the city to pieces even if they slowly push forward.
Zhou Huchen's Shijie Abahanar couldn't understand how this undefeated commander of the Ming army could make such a mistake?
Not only did Abahanar not understand, but even Zheng Sen, who was beside Zhou Huchen, couldn't understand: "Jiannu is just that little person, even if he wins in a few clicks, the marshal should not delay time here, the soldiers are fast, otherwise Dolgon and the little emperor of Jiannu will escape." ”
"It's a hot day, it's good to take a break!" Answering the question, Zhou Huchen smiled and made Zheng Sen look a little hateful.
"It's not hot! Do you need to take a break? How good is it to rest under the city of Shenyang? Zheng Sen was puzzled by a string of question marks.
"What's the hurry? I wanted to run early. If you don't want to run, you'll be waiting for us in Shenyang! ”
It's so simple!
Dolgon and the others have returned to Shenyang for a long time, whether they are ready to continue to escape or defend Shenyang City, it is estimated that they have already made a decision, what is Zhou Huchen anxious about.
The so-called strategizing, there is no greater peace of mind than this.
"Yes! Since Jiannu did not come to the field, it is estimated that he will be frightened and will continue to escape. Zheng Sen has also learned to analyze now, and he seems to be very sure.
It's a pity that Zhou Huchen disagrees with this argument: "Weishenme Jinzhou is not a soldier? Weishenme Panjin and Gaizhou are empty cities? Weishenme Liaoyang on this point of strength? Where would Jiannu give up Shenyang so easily, Jiannu gave up Shenyang, the best way out is the northeast, and the north is the most bitter and cold place. The east side is a mountainous area, and giving up Shenyang is equivalent to letting Jiannu return to the primitive society, and the entire Liliang of Jianzhou will become a plate of loose sand, so there must be a war in Shenyang, and Jiannu should have left a back road for himself. ”
"The way back? Where is it? ”
"The Fushun Mountains on the east side are continuous, the forests are dense, and the back road of Jiannu is there, and further east is the Changbai Mountains, and the deep mountains and old forests are the places where Jianzhou people live. Once Shenyang can't hold it, they will withdraw from Shenyang, so Shenyang must have a battle. ”
Zhou Huchen was not resting during this time, but brewing, and he had a military map in his hand. There were scouts and local guides who gave him information about Shenyang and the surrounding area, but Zheng Sen only relied on guesses, how could Zhou Huchen know thoroughly.
That is to say, only Shenyang and Fushun remained in the battle. As long as we capture these two cities, we will be completely victorious! ”
Zheng Sen took it for granted, he thought that taking Shenyang and Fushun would solve everything.
"How can it be so simple, we only defeated the Jianzhou Jurchen. Further northeast, there are Haixi Jurchens who were annexed by the Jianzhou Jurchens, and there are Beishan Jurchens in the far north of the country, as well as the vast and boundless ice fields, and the Beishan Jurchens are also commonly known as the wild Jurchens, which are actually the former territory of our Ming Dynasty. And to the east is the sea, and then to the northwest of the land can be described as vast and boundless, although it is a desert grassland, although cold, but the land area is several times that of my Ming Dynasty, these places are not useless, should be occupied, what we have to do is to occupy a larger land area, so that these places belong to my Ming. ”
Of course, some land further north must belong to this Ming Dynasty, since he came to this shijie, he can't let Lao Maozi get cheap, Zhou Huchen believes that he can do it, Mo Xiancheng will not compromise, and Lao Maozi will taste the gap of the times in the future. There is also Outer Mongolia, Zhou Huchen will not let it go, it doesn't matter if he can't fully master it, what later generations of Geldan and others let them drink the northwest wind! Zhou Huchen's refusal to carry out a bloody massacre in Inner Mongolia does not mean that Outer Mongolia will be so merciful.
Zhou Huchen's goal was too ambitious, it was far beyond Zheng Sen's imagination, because in Zheng Sen's impression, the Ming Dynasty was already big enough, and the grassland was said to be very vast, but he couldn't imagine that there was such a vast world in the north.
"I'm afraid it's going to take a few years, right?" Zheng Sen asked:
"A few years is just a preliminary foundation, I am afraid it will take several generations of efforts to completely surrender and belong to the Ming Dynasty, a strict control, a military deterrence, and a combination of grace and power, we and our descendants have a long way to go."
"Our descendants" Zheng Sen was a little excited: "Are you sure that our descendants will dominate the world like us?" I'm a man with a son! ”
Zheng Sen married a few years ago Hui'an Jinshi in Quanzhou, Fujian, the niece of Dong Yangxian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and had a son.
"Of course, our descendants will be as close as we are, if I have a son, it is estimated that my brother will also have a daughter, why don't you get married and book a girl from your family!" Zhou Huchen showed his white teeth, how could he let go of such an opportunity, how could he be worthy of his future son if he didn't tie the fat cow of the Zheng family to his boat.
"It's a deal! My first daughter belongs to your Zhou family! "Zheng Sen is not stupid, who is Zhou Huchen, he will definitely be crowned a duke in the future, and he is definitely a hereditary duke, and his daughter is a super duchess before she grows up, she is too blessed, this family business can be let go.
"Brother, do you have a daughter?"
"It was born in the side chamber at the beginning of the year." Zheng Sen was a little embarrassed, he was a little too anxious, and the identity of that side room seemed to be a little too low.
"It just so happens that the princess of the younger brother's family is pregnant with Liujia, and it is estimated that she is about to give birth, if it is a son, it will be your brother's son-in-law, if not, there will be a chance!"
How can this chariot lack the Zheng family, what is the identity of Zheng Sen's daughter Zhou Huchen doesn't care, as long as she is biological, with Zheng Sen's handsome appearance, that side room must also be a beauty, as for that daughter will not be a beauty in the future, it will be against the sky. The marriage was not discussed, and it was decided for the sake of the in-laws in the future.
Born of a princess! I know that you are a concubine, this can be regarded as entering the ranks of the royal relatives! Zheng Sen was so excited that he only nodded frequently.
